- Pump stations. New river or dam pump sets with switchgear and VSDs. See Irrigation Pump Installation.
- Pump breakdowns. Seals, bearings, impellers and motor rewinds. See Irrigation Pump Repairs.

- Boreholes. Submersible pumps feeding small irrigated blocks and stock water.
Riversdale Site Checks
- Suction lift and intake. Pumps drawing from rivers or farm dams need the right suction height and a screened intake, or they cavitate.
- Power supply. Long rural lines, load limits and outages decide whether a VSD, generator or solar backup makes sense.
- Pipeline length. The distance and height from pump to lands set the duty point and the pipe class needed.
- Silt after heavy rain. Sediment in river water wears impellers and blocks sprinkler nozzles faster.

Prices JUST UPDATED. Ballpark figures, rounded, excluding VAT unless stated. They are compiled from published South African cost estimates and typical supplier and contractor rates. They are not our prices or quotations, and no contractor is bound by them. Unless a row says otherwise they exclude the water source, power supply and earthworks, so confirm exactly what each quotation includes.

Pump repairs are often quoted only once the unit is stripped, so expect a call-out or inspection fee first.

Agricultural Irrigation Riversdale FAQs
Should I repair or replace an old irrigation pump?
If the casing is sound, a rebuild usually costs less. Replace it when it no longer matches the flow you need or parts are hard to find.
Does a VSD help on a farm pump?
It can when one pump feeds blocks with different flow and pressure needs, or when a soft start protects an old pipeline. On a single fixed duty it may add little.
Can contractors take the pump to a workshop?
Many do. Ask whether collection, a loan pump and reinstallation are included in the quote.
